Editor: It's official, the hijacking is complete. The Tea Party movement has been usurped by the GOP, this is confirmed by the $100,000 payout for Sarah Palin. The history of the movement has been hidden from the public by the MSM just like George Orwell's 1984. From the Guardian :
"The term tea party, a reference to the Boston Tea Party, is credited to a commentator on CNBC, Rick Santelli, who launched a tirade last February against the Obama administration's financial plans and called for a display of outrage which he called a Chicago tea party."
Below is an excerpt from a article I wrote describing the hijacking in its infancy.
Excerpt from: A Message To The Revolution: The Easiest Way To Destroy A Movement Is To Become It
I guess you could say that the media's new catch phrase these days is Tea Party. A couple of years ago, this tradition was reborn by a nationwide grassroots movement of non-partisan freedom lovers, who are seeking a return to the Constitutional roots of this nation.
Arising first as the Ron Paul Revolution and now the Campaign For Liberty, this diverse and tech-savvy group of creative individuals reignited the idea of liberty in the political collective consciousness.
The problem is that the Orwellian newspeak media has left out the fact that the Ron Paul Tea Parties started under the Bush administration, and were not focused on attacking Bush, but instead were exposing the unconstitutionality of the Fed, IRS, NAU, Patriot Act, NAFTA, wars for empire and the list goes on. Our enemy is not a politician, political party or pundit, it's the corporate governmental mechanisms of control that expand no matter who is in office.
This blatant hijacking of the patriot, truth and liberty movement, should be further confirmation that the majority of Americans are waking up and shaking off the two-party propaganda tool that is used to divide and conquer. New counter measures had to be taken by the ruling oligarchy to prevent any further movement outside their control system. The current financial crisis has lifted the veil just enough for some light to pass through, so they need to apply a new layer of filters to conceal the truth behind the veil.
Huffington Post | This weekend marks the controversial National Tea Party Convention in Nashville at the elaborate Gaylord Opryland Hotel. This convention has been dogged by vocal opposition from other aspects of the Tea Party movement and the departure of major sponsors as well as some speakers over financial aspects of the event. The kickback has led some pundits to suggest that the convention has put the entire Tea Party movement in jeopardy.
Many in the Tea Party movement became disenchanted with the National Tea Party Convention after it was revealed that the company behind the convention is a "for profit" entity. Tea Party acolytes became more upset with the high price of admission to attend. To participate in either the convention proper or Sarah Palin's speech costs $349 plus fees; for both, $549.
